Although some research has examined health implications of flexible work arrangements, little is known about job flexibility and health in the context of modern working life, characterized by intensification. Grounded on the Job Demand-Resource model, this article explores access to flexible work arrangements and organizational climate on the health and well-being of white-collar, urban professionals in downtown Toronto. A qualitative content analysis of eight semistructured interviews with white-collar, urban professionals between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-two revealed three domains—intensity of work life and demands, coworker and managerial relations, and the boundaries between work and home—where demands outweighed resources to limit workers’ ability to practice flexibility. Thus, an emerging trend where workers need to be flexible within flexible work arrangements emerged. Findings point to the need for organizational commitment and activities to address unhealthy behaviors in the context of modern working life.

Ordinarily “black money” is considered a part of illegal transactions involving cash payments. However, in the case of illegal insider trading, illegal profits are often hidden in the purchase of luxury items and financial investments through offshore accounts. Aiding in this particular white-collar crime is the ambiguity of regulation, often dependent on the political whims of whatever party is in office at the time. Adding to the confusion is the fact that in some cases, “insider traders” are acting legitimately, as in the case of senior executives with stock buying options within their compensation or with lower-level employees participating in employee stock ownership programs (ESOPs). Though there are exhaustive ways by which illegal trading information is passed around, there are certain industries, including finance, that lend themselves to greater risk for employee involvement in illegal insider trading. This chapter includes discussions of mergers and acquisitions frenzies, as well as hedge funds and their contributions to illegal insider trading.
